The weight gained a lot during the pandemic opened the door to depression. Etiler Esthetique Center and Private Etiler Hospital Medical Director Prof. Dr. Alper Çelik said, “During the pandemic, our body was attacked by stubborn fats, which especially love the abdomen, lower belly and waist region. Increasing concerns with deformations have made aesthetic operations no longer a luxury.”
The weight gained due to irregular diet and inactivity in the pandemic has increased the demand for liposuction operations. According to studies, the global liposuction surgery market, which reached $2021 billion in 1,4, is expected to increase to $6,19 billion in 2026 with an annual integrated growth rate of 1,9%. Stating that the weight gained in the pandemic causes deformations in our body, especially in the abdomen, lower belly and waist regions, Etiler Esthetique Center and Private Etiler Hospital Medical Director Prof. Dr. Alper Çelik said, “While the global epidemic closed us all in our homes, it also left us alone with our body defects. Not to mention the weight gained… Increasing aesthetic concerns have opened the door to aesthetic operations for all segments, regardless of age and gender. Now, men as well as women and young people as well as old people are turning to aesthetic operations. Because he wants to avoid the depression that can be caused by aesthetic concerns," he said.
Plastic surgeries have the power to improve mental health
Stating that the increasing concerns about physical health in the pandemic, combined with aesthetic concerns due to the deformations in our body, Prof. Dr. Alper Çelik said, “As important as strengthening our body's immunity is for our physical health, it is so important for us to be at peace with our body in terms of our mental health. Aesthetic operations are not only beautifying or rejuvenating, but also have the power to improve our mental health.”
Patient satisfaction and short recovery period success criteria
Noting that liposuction is not a weight loss process, it provides removal of deformations by removing stubborn fat accumulated in different parts of the body under anesthesia. Dr. Alper Çelik said, “There are 2 criteria that make an aesthetic operation successful. One of them is recovery in a short time, and the other is patient satisfaction. After completing the necessary health checks of our patients who apply to us with aesthetic concerns, we determine the areas where liposuction will be performed. After the liposuction surgery, our patients can return to their homes and return to their social lives after a short rest period.”
A healthy diet and regular exercise are essential for weight control!
Etiler Esthetique Center and Private Etiler Hospital Medical Director Prof. Dr. Alper Çelik said, “If it is not done carefully by the experts, fat cells may form again in the area where the liposuction operation is applied. Liposuction greatly reduces the fat cells in the area where it is performed, but if irregular nutrition is continued, lubrication may occur in these areas. For this reason, it is important to gain healthy eating habits and exercise regularly after the operation for weight control. After all, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, it is a body shaping surgery," he added.
